Female Therapists in Saint Peters, MO

Beliefs like “I’m unloveable because I’m fat, ugly, and disgusting. It’s not even worth trying to be happy.” plague larger women . We get ghosted, shamed, and ignored - it’s SO HARD to feel good about ourselves. And size is always an issue. It creeps up in the too-small waiting room chairs, in the bedroom where we’re too self-conscious to be all-in while having sex, at work when we get passed up for promotions. We feel not good enough, that we’re not important, that we don’t deserve a good life, that we’ll die alone. And this is not just in our heads - we get these messages from the world constantly.

Many successful women struggle with a pattern of toxic and abusive relationships. You feel invisible, unloveable, unseen, frustrated, and angry. You aren't valuing yourself as a result of having been devalued by people close to you, and you continue to find yourself in these types of unhealthy alliances - it's a toxic pattern that leaves you depleted, anxious and depressed. I want to help women BREAK OUT OF THAT CYCLE, and shift into a vibrant life that includes rewarding work, peace, joy, and happy healthy relationships.

Finding a therapist that makes you feel seen and connected can be an overwhelming task, especially when you've carried your pain alone for so long.

Whether your lived experiences have led you to struggling with depression, anxiety, intense emotion dysregulation, or substance use; I am here to carry it with you.

Life, with all of its obligations, can feel so heavy. And when you’re disconnected from your partner, life feels even heavier. Maybe you’re afraid, deep down, that your partner no longer wants the life you’ve created with them. Maybe you worry that you constantly disappoint them. Perhaps the lack of sexual intimacy in your relationship has hurt for too long. When you’ve lost your connection to your person, it seems painfully impossible to get back on track, especially if there have been years of hurt and disconnection.
